Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common abdominal emergency. The appendix has abundant serotonin containing cells. Upon inflammation, serotonin is released in the blood and converted into 5-HIAA (5-hydroxy indole acetic acid). Measurement of the urine 5-HIAA (U-5-HIAA) could be a

Type 5 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/prostaglandin F synthase (AKR1C3): role in breast cancer and inhibition by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug analogs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of Delta(4)-androstene-3,17-dione to yield testosterone, reduction of estrone to yield 17beta-estradiol and reduction of progesterone to yield 20alpha-hydroxyprogesterone. In addition, it functions as a prostaglandin (PG) F
